Under the heading, "Technical Aid for the Disabled", the following useful article was published in ASCCA's June Newsletter.
Technical Aid for the Disabled (TAD) has recently become a Microsoft Authorised Refurbisher and has changed from a computer loan service, specifically for the disabled to a sales based service for the disabled and anyone in receipt of a Centrelink benefit.
TAD can now offer a choice of good budget computers with a range of options and an extended warranty, at very affordable prices - with free delivery in NSW and a two year service agreement. Computer options and costs can be found BY CLICKING HERE.
This is great news because the revenue created will enable TAD to continue it's support to the disabled in the community.
The TAD Computer Support Service currently supports over 1,000 clients throughout NSW, and in the past few years they have supplied more than 6,000 computers to people with disabilities.
TAD has a magnificent team of volunteers who for more than 30 years have worked to custom design and build aids to help anyone who has a disability. It is a not for profit organisation that aims to provide this service to anyone of any age with any disability.
Although the volunteers contribute their time and skills without charge, the clients are asked to make a payment towards the services they receive to cover the materials, travel and other expenses of the volunteers. There are more than 300 of these practical and visionary people from technical, trade and engineering backgrounds who have an amazing network to source ‘ingredients’ or discuss possible solutions for simple or complex problems.
Staff, TAD members and volunteers are rewarded by seeing their clients enjoy a better quality of life. TAD is an Australia wide organisation and if you go to this webpage you will find out how to contact them in all states.
TADAust Connect Internet Service Provider has previously provided an affordable Dialup Service for People with Disabilities, the Aged and Veterans and is now also offering a range of broadband, mobile and home telephone services.
